Tell-All: Stern and Birkhead Were Lovers
A new tell-all about Anna Nicole Smith from former MSNBC journalist Rita Cosby alleges that Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead were secret gay lovers.The book, "Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith's Death" describes an alleged brief tryst between Stern and Birkhead, reports the Daily News. Jackie Hatten, described as a friend of Anna Nicole's, claims she found Stern and Birkhead with their shirts off and pants around their ankles, engaged in oral sex.
The book also accuses the feuding baby daddies of cutting a secret deal between them in which Birkhead would get custody of Dannielynn in return for Stern being named executor of Anna Nicole's estate.
Both Birkhead and Stern deny all of Cosby's accusations. Birkhead said that he was disgusted by Cosby's claims that he and Stern were gay lovers. "If she printed that, then she is really getting sued," he said.
Stern's lawyer, Lin Wood, called the book "false and defamatory."
